Hi Rob, thanks your reply. I’ve added Worona in the key words.
I have tried using the following:-
local function webListener(event) print("showWebPopup callback") local url = event.url if( string.find( url, "http:" ) ~= nil or string.find( url, "mailto:" ) ~= 1 ) then print("url: ".. url) system.openURL(mailto:) end return true end
This does not achieve clickable mailto links.
The App has a file called html_server.lua, I have copied the code below.
This seems to be where the issue is. Line 146 to 157 seems to where you could perhaps control the behaviour of a tapped mailto link. I don’t what you would do though. The code is of course lua. Any ideas on what this file does and a work around to get mailto: links working would be greatly appreciated. I think the file has something to do with serving the json data to the device screen. I am way out of my depth here so that maybe rubbish. This is great little app and I would happily buy it if I could get this working. The App developers don’t seem to understand my issue which is why I’m posting on here. My use of the app required mailto links to pop the device mail client.
